ZZ Top is known for their beards, blues rock, and love for Houston.

HOUSTON, Texas -- UPDATE: Due to a "clerical error," Gilded Monkey Market's Thom Anderson tells CultureMap, information the estate sale company released to the press incorrectly insinuated that the Dusty Hill's family is behind this sale. Rather, says Anderson, "this is an estate sale of the contents of his prior home." Anderson now says that the contents are for sale by the new owners of Hill's home; this was not information initially provided.

Additionally, after further inquiry by CultureMap, an attorney for Hill's family advises that this sale is "not in any way affiliated with Hill's estate or his family."
